How will you fit it? Looks to me that those projector lighting bulbs need to be fitted in a closed headlight assembly....

that actually is not that difficult. in 99% of all vehicles the glass bezel is held on with glue. to remove the glue and glass just heat it up in an oven for about 1 minute at 200 degrees f. the glass comes off and the projector can be mounted inside.

something like this though they have a kit that would not require any cutting of the housing so disregard this part

The issue I think you'll find is the overall depth. It's 4" long. Measure.

I tried to fit a dipping HID bulb into an R3 reflector unit. Was too long and touched the glass. I've used the same HID's in loads of other lamp units. You'd be better off finding a pair of self supporting projectors you like.

See the mt3 in the page I linked. Only requires 3.3 inches. I may just try it because it's only $60 and if it doesnt fit then I'll make some fog lights out of them

I've been collecting info on projector lights available in the UK for the last few months - toying with the idea at the moment.

They look very cool! how would you fix them stable inside the headlamp shell tho?

I was looking at the MT6 as it has both beams. I'll be interested in the results though. My last play was to convert some lights to LED.

My bad I just realized I linked a video instead of the web page I was referring to

There we go.

You fix them solid with screws and the bezel covers the screws when your done

I was thinking more of ditching the existing shells completely and having some mounted in their own housing.
